Help.... It's Crushing Me....

[Powdered Toast Man]

The bus I've been thrown under, that is.

The current administration needs to remember exactly how it came to be in power, and more importantly who put them in power.

That would be us, the ones currently under the bus.

[FrenchieCat]

1. I thought you were on the bus that had thrown this administration

under it's wheels long ago.

[Powdered Toast Man]

4. Pardon?

I have voiced my opinion about this I agree with as well as disagree with. Sometimes they make me happy, sometimes they make me angry.

Today, I am angry.

[Beetwasher]

6. Toast Man Not Happy! Toast Man Angry Now!

11. What made you angry today?

"Today, I am angry"

Gibbs said the professional left is not representative of the progressives who organized, campaigned, raised money and ultimately voted for Obama.


Progressives, Gibbs said, are the liberals outside of Washington “in America,” and they are grateful for what Obama has accomplished in a shattered economy with uniform Republican opposition and a short amount of time.

[Powdered Toast Man]

16. Simple.

Because I agree with the professional left in that the White House should have fought harder, done more, and compromised less on issues most important to the people that put them into office.

The Professional Left speak for us. If you attack them, you attack the people whose message they are delivering.

[SunsetDreams]

22. I am not angry,

more frustrated than anything. I'm frustrated with the makeup of Congress that we have right now. We are simply not going to get Leftist Purity out of this congress. We don't have a super majority. Congress is where legislation happens, if we want Leftist Purity, we need more Liberals in Congress.

Because of the makeup of Congress, compromise, unfortunately has to happen, in order to get ANY legislation passed.
That's what Obama has to deal with.

[Powdered Toast Man]

25. They start too low.

You can't give up almost everything before you START to compromise. That is the problem.

[SunsetDreams]

31. I don't agree

that they start too low. Ammendments are how these bills have got watered down.

[FrenchieCat]

23. The professional Left doesn't speak for me......

And in fact, I'm glad they are getting their just desserts.
To believe that one can criticize constantly about everything,
while dismissing the positives and somehow never hear about it
is loony!

[Powdered Toast Man]

27. Wow

You are glad they are getting what they deserve? Wow. They are trying to... forget it. Pointless arguing with you. Have a nice day.

[FrenchieCat]

32. I'm glad they are being criticized........since that's all that they do.

FDL and the other overcritical assholes who get paid to say what they want
and who equate Obama to Bush are fucking crazy or possibly are on drugs. period.
I agree with Gibbs on this. The thin-skinned professional Left who criticize
because they feel entitled to whatever need to get a grip!

[Powdered Toast Man]

37. Keith Nailed it.

Said exactly how I feel. I have nothing else to say to you on the issue.

[CakeGrrl]

2. How 'bout we throw that *phrase* under the bus?

:rofl:

[SunsetDreams]

5. no kidding

[Bobbie Jo]

34. ...and drive it off the fucking cliff.

[Jennicut]

35. Please make it die already! If it is one phrase that I clearly

fucking never want to hear again, it might just be that. Let's be more original...I was pushed into an incinerator or something.

[Beetwasher]

3. You Made Obama President? Can I Have Your Autograph?

Thanks Mr. Man!

[Powdered Toast Man]

7. I love when people pretend to be ignorant.

Really makes me laugh. But since we're playing that game, yup, I did it all by myself. And I was talking only about myself in my post.

[Beetwasher]

8. I'm Not Pretending, I Really Am Ignorant Of Your Power

You powerful, powerful toast man. You get me all hot and bothered with your power.

[Powdered Toast Man]

9. LOL

Yes, I am very powerful. I elect politicians just by flexing my pinkie finger.

[Beetwasher]

10. I Bet You Can Do More With That Finger

If you get my drift.

[Powdered Toast Man]

12. Happy to show you.

Get MY drift?

[Beetwasher]

14. No, I'm Ignorant, Remember?

Can you stop the bus from crushing you? That would be cool!

[Powdered Toast Man]

18. Even PTM's powers have limits. n/t

[Beetwasher]

19. I'm Dissapointed, I Had So Much Invested In My Fantasies About You

I feel as if I've been thrown under a bus.

[Powdered Toast Man]

20. Heavy, isn't it? n/t

[Beetwasher]

21. Not Really, It's A Small Bus

A short bus, if you will. And I'll get over it since I'm not addicted to victimhood.

[Powdered Toast Man]

24. You're too funny, really. Thanks for the laugh. n/t

[Beetwasher]

26. Oh, So I'm Your Clown??? I'm Here To Amuse YOU??? Now You Think You Can Just Use Me????

And then toss me away like some type of thing that you just use and then toss away???? I don't think so, Mr. You have responsibilities now.

[Powdered Toast Man]

28. LOL! have a good one. I'm done. n/t

[Beetwasher]

30. Yeah, That's What They All Say

But you'll be back. They always come back. And I'll be here, cupcake.

[Powdered Toast Man]

33. I just had to go to the store...

I never said I wasn't coming back. And whi is "they"?????

[Beetwasher]

39. See? You Can't Resist My Siren Song

I'm like a drug.

[CBR]

13. Not really. nt

[global1]

15. Look - Do You Think Obama Is Like Bush? Have You Personally Said That?........

If you did - then you deserve to be thrown under the bus. If you didn't - then quit your crying - he wasn't directing his comments at you. Don't take it personally.

Obama is nothing like Bush and anybody that says he is - probably does need a drug test.

Just go back into the archives of DU and see how DU thought of Bush.

[Powdered Toast Man]

17. Wow... never said that.

Not once... not in any forum or to any person. Nice false assumption though.

[FrenchieCat]

29. It was a question, not an assumption.....

the point is that this quote, like many others, is being taken out of context,
and is being used as an excuse to complain some more.

It's quite obvious.

[Steely_Dan]

41. Frenchie...I love ya but...

I just don't see that this was taken out of context. Please, explain it to me like I'm completely clueless. How was Gibbs comments not at least to some extent directed to progressives in general?

[alcibiades_mystery]

36. Blah blah blah

[Forkboy]

38. Fuck 'em.

[firedupdem]

40. Why don't you just put another one in power since this one isn't

doing what it's told? Easy fix.
